CPA AUDIT -> Wharton MBA -> Top Hedge Funds?

Re-Post from B-School forum as I thought I may get better targeted responses from here.

My initial target careers out of MBA were Management Consulting or I-Banking. However, I grew stronger interest for Hedge Funds or Asset Management companies recently and thinking to go that route instead.

I had a few questions that I was hoping someone would be able to assist me with in order to make myself prepared before the August 2019 Wharton MBA entry:

1. What majors will prepare me best for the career in HF or AM? I am thinking about double-majoring in Finance and Statistics to add to my existing Accounting knowledge and round up my profile.
2. What is a typical Post-MBA title at a Hedge Fund or AM for someone who is able to sneak in without prior experience, for the career track to eventually become a PM? I know it is hard to get without prior exp., but still doable.
3. How much value do HF and AM place on networking with them outside of b-school (i.e., emails, calls, visits, coffee chats close to their office)?
4. What are some top firms that might be more open to hiring people without prior HF or AM backgrounds?

Thank you.
